Patient Retention Success Stories
We’ve talked a lot about how putting Genesis Chiropractic Software to work in your office can help you create a better patient experience, increase revenue, improve patient retention, and just generally make your life easier. Today, I wanted to take the chance to introduce you to two of our real-world success stories, doctors just like you who leveraged the power of Genesis and have seen the incredible results first-hand. The first doctor I’d like to introduce to you is Dr. Chris Zaino. Dr. Zaino’s practice sees 2,600 patient visits each week. A high-volume practice like this one is an amazing opportunity to change the lives of so many patients through the power of Chiropractic, but also provides many opportunities for patients to fall through the cracks. That’s why Dr. Zaino is so happy with the access to patient care plans that Genesis provides. Dr. Zaino says that the Genesis heat index that shows him and his staff immediately through a color-coded system whether a patient is missing visits gives him the opportunity to take action right away and get patients back on track with their care plans. In the Genesis system, when a patient is compliant with their care plan, the screen you see is white. If they miss a visit, it turns pink to warn you that they need to get back on track. If more visits are missed, the screen will be red. According to Dr. Zaino, that red screen is great for reminding him to take the time to connect with his patient and explain to them the importance of their care because for every visit they miss, they are “going backward”. Dr. Zaino says, “It’s all about connecting and connecting can be done in a split second if you’re doing it right.” Another doctor, who has harnessed the power of Genesis in his office is Dr. Jason Haas. Dr. Haas loves the fact that the Genesis system is set-up to provide easy interface with the Posture Screen software. He uses the Posture Screen tools in his office to educate his patients on what their posture looks like, should look like, and to provide follow-up data on changes in their posture as a result of their compliance with their care plan. With Genesis and Posture Screen, Dr. Haas’ patients can see immediately what their posture looked like prior to care and how it has improved. Dr. Haas says, “Genesis makes it easy to use with their interface. This gives us an incredible practice certainty we couldn’t get with other practice software.” The successes that Dr. Zaino and Dr. Haas have had with Genesis in their practices is just a small sampling of the incredible stories we have received from doctors who have implemented the software in their Chiropractic offices. From increasing patient compliance to simply making running their offices more efficient and intuitive Genesis has provided countless benefits to our doctors.
Genesis Patient Accounts Can Have Multiple Active Care Plans
Multiple Active Care Plans for Each Patient are Possible. Accurate patient care plans enable you to predict future income and keep track of insurance and cash payments. What if you have more than one provider in your office? What if you have a multi-specialty practice with Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, MDs, and Dietitians for weight loss? It’s possible to keep track of all of their scheduled visits on one care plan listing all of their visits, but it’s more complicated. It’s better to schedule separate appointments on their various schedules and then create a care plan for each specialty. That’s the simple way to do it. If you want to complicate things, then you can try to have their care plans combined into one or put it all on one from the beginning. So it is possible but there will be more details to pay attention to. Watch this Free Webinar to find out more from Jason Barnes, and to see exactly how care plans work. Enter your information and watch it immediately below. Read the transcript: And so today we’re talking about how you can actually manage a practice where you have patients that are coming in for more than one specialty. Now, this specialty requirement does not mean that it has to be something fancy. You can have somebody who has a care plan for acupuncture, a care plan for massage therapy, a care plan for chiropractic but this is where we’ve seen it more useful is where practices have opted to use multiple active care plans for physical therapy, for MD’s, for weight loss, for nutrition, or detox, for chiropractic and some of which are all of the above and more. So the why we’re doing this is, care plans are great. They do lots of great things for you but we’re gonna actually get into the old care plan versus the new care plan and why you should use the old one and why you should use the new one and what their differences are today. So that is the goal of today’s discussion. So when we start talking about a care plan, why on earth do you want to actually use a care plan? Now, this is a situation where it really doesn’t matter if it’s a cash patient or an insurance patient. When you have a new patient that walks through the door, and they’re gonna enter Care, the main reason for doing a care plan has to put a financial agreement in place with that patient that says, “Okay. Over the course of the next 10 weeks, you’re gonna come in for 60 visits and we are going to agree to pay this much money for your care.†Now that much money can be broken down into insurance versus patient or just patient money but you didn’t necessarily outline every single CPT code that you’re going to build because you can’t at that point. But your treatment plan includes over a period of time how much that patient is going to pay. So if I click on View Care Plan for our specific Genesis test patient here. and as we’re looking at this, we’re gonna break it down and I’m gonna get pretty specific here. So this training isn’t typically for the first time somebody is actually reading a care plan. And what that means is we have a care plan here on the first one that we’re looking at and I’m not gonna explain necessarily on the screen yet but just theoretically, if you’re gonna have a number of visits, you do have to put how much money is going to be charged per visit. So this top line here is a highlighted blue line is what we’re talking about. If you don’t know exactly what you’re gonna bill, each time a visit is built out, you have to go in manually adjust whatever it is you build to what you agreed that you were going to have the patient pay. That is very time consuming and very difficult if you have to do it on a not only a patient by patient basis, but a visit by visit basis. So what the care plan does is allow all of that to be automated as long as you set it up in the first place. If you’ve got one patient with one specialty, that has worked well for over a decade now and many of our users are found that super useful. But as practices have changed and began to evolve, the need has also changed. So if you have multiple specialties, you can still use a single care plan. And we’ll illustrate that today and we’ll make sure that we go through what your options are. But your primary goal for a care plan is still to have the manual adjustments that you would do on a visit by visit basis to bring down what the patient responsibility is going to be automated. That is the purpose to automate the adjustment of those charges down to what the patient actually owes. That doesn’t change no matter what. So even if we’re talking about multiple active care plans, we are still going to do just that. We’re just gonna help you do it and track it in a slightly different way so that you can discuss things with a patient more easily, you can hold clinicians responsible for what they’re doing and ultimately, the patient should have a better experience. So enough of the pomp and circumstance, we’re gonna actually get into the nitty-gritty of this. So, the first thing that you’re gonna to see here is this highlighted line, is yes we have an active care plan 36 V for 2015, 36 visits. And this one is starting from 1123 of 2015 to 1231 of 2016. It’s a long care plan. However, if you move over this, this is a really traditional care plan, probably the most popular 36 visits. And

Genesis Patient Accounts Can Verify Insurance
How does your Chiropractic Practice handle Insurance Verifications, Authorizations and Referrals? As a Chiropractor you know that accurate patient insurance verifications, authorizations and referrals is a very important part of creating a great patient experience in your office. Plus it’s the way you’ll be getting paid for your services, so it’s a very important part of your practice’s health as well. You must verify. It would be a perfect excuse for the insurance company to reject your insurance claim – you didn’t verify it and the treatment wasn’t authorized. Genesis Chiropractic Software has thought of these problems with insurance companies and the insurance verification tools are a click away in your patient’s account. Watch this Free Webinar to find out more from Jason Barnes and Jessica Pancoast, and to see exactly how it works. Enter your information and watch it immediately below. Read the transcript: Jason: Well, good afternoon and welcome everybody. Jason Barnes with Genesis Chiropractic Software. With me, I can’t say as always, because it’s been a while since we’ve been together. It’s Jessica Pancoast, the head of our training and help desk teams here, and I’m excited to be back in the same room with the amount of travel that we had recently. Being back in the same state, actually, is kind of nice. But it’s been exciting. We’ve been out visiting a lot of our practices and I know we’ve even met some of you guys that have been on the calls, so thank you for joining us. We’re gonna give it just another moment here. Great, and we’re just gonna get started then and if you do have a question, though, please use your chat. Jess, where do they get that again? Jessica: If you do not see the chat on the left-hand side, just open there for you, up at the top will be a button that says “Show chat,” and if you click on that the chat window will be there on your left-hand side. And down at the bottom you’ll be able to type in any of your questions. Jason: Okay. So, I’m looking forward to today because some newer things that I’ve heard that people have not been made aware of, as far as our software is concerned and our service. And then, some things that, even though people knew we had, I found that were not being used to their fullest potential. So, I’m gonna go ahead and introduce the topic for today. We’re gonna be talking about insurance verifications, the different ways that we can do those, the service that we can provide. Everyone, I think, knows why they’re so important, but then we’re also gonna talk about authorizations and referrals, as well. So, under this umbrella, really, it all comes down to, “Am I going to get paid for the services that I’m performing?” When I have insurance verification and it’s not done correctly, I wish I could tell you that no matter what information you got or the source you got that information from, it would always be 100% reliable, but I think there are probably a number of people listening to this right now nodding their head when I say, “Even if you’re in touch with the insurance company, you’re not always gonna get 100% accurate information.” Aside from that, authorizations that you have to obtain, how to be notified of those authorizations, and the referrals themselves that you’re gonna get. We’re gonna go over the nuts and bolts of how you’re actually gonna record that information in the system, and more importantly, how we can coach you to help the system reminds you when you’re running up against situations where somebody’s not gonna be covered. And if they’re not covered, what you can do and how you can be prompted to actually have conversations with those patients. Now, for those of you running all cash practices, there are certain times where authorizations are still needed, referring doctors are still needed, but very, very rare. This is mostly for our clients who are actually gonna see patients with insurance and bill to insurance. But that transition over to cash is also super important and there’s a few things, care plans, that can be discussed as well. So, actually, to jump right into it, we’re actually gonna get right into a patient. All right. And our favorite patient, well, maybe not our favorite, Jess, but… Jessica: The one we use a lot. Jason: The one we use all the time is our Genesis patient, and we’re in our regular scheduler here. And I’m gonna click on this patient tab, and we’re gonna zoom in just a little bit for clarity sake here. And so, Jess, I’m gonna ask you in a moment here to help us out with the actual anatomy of these sorts of things. But before we do that, you’re in the scheduler and you have a patient that walks through the door who is not covered by insurance anymore, is one situation we can go over, has an authorization that’s run out, which is a second situation. Or you have a referral that is only good for X number of visits or for a certain date range. Those are the main scenarios that we’re gonna cover today, and then we’re gonna go over how we can set up the notifications, which will help you guys being made aware of these situations, and what you can do with those notifications. So, Jess, can you help us? Jessica: Sure. All right. So, any of the authorizations, any of the referrals, they’re all gonna go on this referral tab, that way the system is able to, as best they can, help you out and automatically apply the appropriate referrals and authorizations to the claim when it’s created. So, when you go into this referral tab, a lot of times you’ll have a default row that just has pretty much no information, no real information, anyway. It has some basic dates
